    Pancakes and fritters,

    When the boat comes to the bridge, it will go through; when the cart gets to the mountains, there will be a way to get over them.
    Chinese proverb.

    Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.
    Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
